Rihanna is reportedly interested in Robert Pattinson, and she's been texting him in the Big Fat Rumor of the Day. A source says Rihanna thinks Rob is "very cute", but she never pursued him because he was attached. Now there's some room to work. Rihanna got Rob's number from a mutual friend, and she's been sending him some, "sexy, funny texts" to cheer him up. The source says Rob has been resisting, but his friends are pushing him to go for it, telling him it's time to enjoy life again.

Lady Gaga posted a collection of old video clips on YouTube earlier this month. In one of them, Gaga is dancing around in her apartment to one of her own songs and flashing her boobs. (PS: The song is "Sheisse". But be WARNED: That's the German version of the S-word.) Even though this seems like the kind of thing YouTube would remove, it's been up there since August 3rd. And last we checked it was still there. The segment starts at about the 52-second mark, but the actual flashing happens at around 1:20. What's particularly funny is that after the flashing, Gaga's mother enters the room and starts dancing with her apparently having no idea her daughter had just exposed her cans.

On Tuesday night, Rick Ross was performing in Las Vegas, and he surprised the crowd by bringing out David Copperfield. Rick introduced him saying, "This is a mother f***in icon. In his field, he's the greatest that ever did it" and later added, "This is a legend." Rick then laid down his rap from "Black Magic", a track off "Self Made Volume 2", which is a new compilation album from his Maybach Music Group label. The rap name-checks David, with the line, "Poof! There go the car / Poof! There go the crib / Poof! A hundred mill / Woop, David Copperfield." David looked like he was having a great time and afterward, he Tweeted a video, and said, "Working on my street cred. On stage last night with Swizz Beatz and Rick Ross. Unreal. Poof!"

An intruder broke into LL Cool J's home in L.A. on Tuesday night, but unfortunately for him, LL was home at the time, and he was feeling confrontational. According to reports, LL heard something at around 1:00am, and went to investigate. He discovered an intruder in his kitchen and proceeded to beat the crap out of him. Police sources tell the "Los Angeles Times" that the intruder "rushed" him, which led to a "knock-down drag-out fight." The cops showed up shortly after that, and arrested the guy. He was hospitalized, and is being treated for several injuries including a broken nose and jaw. It definitely doesn't sound like this guy was a professional robber. He's being described as a "transient," and officials believe he may suffer from "mental issues." He's 58 years old.

Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Conor Kennedy were asked to stay away from a Kennedy family wedding last Saturday, but they went anyway. Conor never RSVP’d to his cousin Kyle Kennedy’s big day. The bride's mother, Victoria Gifford Kennedy said, "They texted me an hour before the wedding and asked if they could come. I responded with a very clear, 'Please do not come.'
They came anyway." Naturally, Taylor's appearance caused all kinds of chaos and Victoria was not happy, "I personally went up to Ms. Swift and asked her as nicely as I could to leave. It was like talking to a ghost. She seemed to look right past me." Taylor and Conor finally got the drift and left, but came back later and spent the night dancing at the reception. Taylor’s spokeswoman is saying that Taylor was invited to the wedding and the bride thanked her profusely for being there.
